Trump celebrates US Winter Olympians and Paralympians at the White House

President Donald Trump hosted U.S. Winter Olympians and Paralympians at a White House East Room reception on August 6, 2026, with nearly half of Team USA athletes who competed in Italy attending alongside coaches and staff. Speedskater Jordan Stolz, whom Trump described as the most-decorated American Olympian of the 2026 Winter Games, was among the notable attendees. Stolz had previously placed a gold medal around Trump's neck during a rally in Wisconsin earlier that summer.
